purple dog running

today's journal pageNo particular reason why Ralph the Dog is purple other than I love cheap paint.This page is just a silly play, where I swish on some paint with a palette knife and pick out a shape, just like picking out shapes in clouds.I always find Ralph the Dog in the shapes.This page may not be finished. I may add a little UPS truck in the upper left corner. Ralph the Dog's arch nemesis is the UPS man, he hates that brown truck with a passion.I have been told that this is common with dogs, it's something about the engine in the truck and the sound it makes. I use all types of paint in my journals and I love discounted paint samples at the hardware stores.Every so often, I stop at the Habitat Re-Store and my local recycle center where most of the time these little containers of paint are free.

Ralph the is an awesome subject! The purple makes him quite regal, huh? I love doodling with my big a** box of crayons and finding characters and shapes, too ... if they're cartoon-esque enough, I make cards to send to my two older grandsons, who love to draw cartoons. and it's all so relaxing! just to play!
